Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address

As a user, I’d like to be able to set the platforms’ language manually so that

  1. I can collaborate more simply with colleagues in other countries or make tutorial and demonstration videos in another language,
  2. Automatically translate my app in different languages for ease of use by colleagues internationally

I think this is relevant for the VIKTOR platform because some user like to work in their own native language

Submitter proposed design (optional)

For item 1:
Under settings

For item 2:
Add a little flag icon like this, if the UI is available in multiple languages. Default to the language specified in item 1.

Of course, the parametrization should allow for ui names and descriptions in multiple languages.

Hi @Mike684 , thanks for this elaborate writeup. There is already a feature request on this here: Retrieve browsers language for a uniform language in user interface - #6 by Frank

Could you repost your message there?
